Kendo na hÉireann—the Irish Kendo Federation—and Dublin Kendo Kobukai are thrilled to invite kendoka of all levels to attend the 2025 edition of the Irish Kendo Spring Seminar! This year, we have invited distinguished Sensei from several European countries to share their wisdom with us, and will also host grading exams up to 4th Dan.
Taking place in the heart of Dublin, the seminar offers a great opportunity to refine your skills and deepen your knowledge of kendo, and to receive tailored guidance from experienced Sensei as you prepare for your grading.
Come train, learn, and grow alongside the Irish kendo community. We look forward to seeing you there!
